右の図は間口九尺の建家で、瓦屋根の地棟下と梁上の束柱に切り込んで、十文字形の筋違いを打ち付けた図である。なお、長屋建てで長さが十間・二十間あるものであっても、この図に倣って数か所に筋違いを打ち付けるべきである。
〇おおよそ、市中の町並みの家屋や長屋など、表・裏ともに必ず庇がある。そこで、その庇の取り付け方をよく観察してみると、いずれも非常に粗略である。江戸の町並みの慣習として、母屋の表柱に切り掛けをして、大貫を横に押し付け、六寸釘で打ち付け、この大貫と庇の桁とに
【左丁】
垂木を打ち渡して、六寸釘をもって大貫と桁とに十本ずつ打ち付け、その垂木の引っ張り力だけで支えておくのみで、どの方向も同様である。職人もまた、これで十分と心得ているようであり、さらにその上に庇まで瓦で葺いて、格外の重荷を負わせているものもある。それゆえ、去る卯年十月二日夜の大地震において、まず第一に垂木掛けの大貫が引き外れ、母屋と庇が引き裂かれ、瓦の重荷によって打ち潰され、逃げ出す戸口で打ち殺され、あるいは往来で打ち殺されるといった例が相次いだ。これはすべて、入札普請を職人任せにして、欲する（ままにさせた結果である）。

The figure to the right depicts a building with a frontage (maguchi) of nine shaku, showing a tile-roofed structure in which diagonal braces (sujikai) in a cross (jūmonji) pattern have been cut and fastened into the short upright posts (tsuka-bashira) located beneath the ground ridge beam (ji-mune) and above the main beam (hari). Moreover, even in the case of tenement row houses (nagaya) of ten or twenty ken in length, one should follow this diagram and attach diagonal braces at several points throughout.
〇 In general, houses and tenement row houses lining the streets of the city invariably have eaves (hisashi) at both the front and rear. Upon careful examination of how these eaves are attached, one finds in every case that the construction is extremely rough and careless. According to the customary practice of Edo townhouses, a large penetrating beam (ō-nuki) is pressed horizontally against the front pillar (omote-bashira) of the main building (omoya) by means of a notched joint (kikkake), nailed with six-sun nails, and then

rafter timbers (taruki) are laid across between this large penetrating beam and the eave purlin (keta), fastened with ten six-sun nails each into both the ō-nuki and the keta. The structure is held in place solely by the tensile pull of these rafters, and this construction method is uniform in all directions. The craftsmen, too, appear to believe this is the proper and sufficient way to build, and furthermore, in some cases the eaves are even tiled, imposing an extraordinary additional load upon this inadequate structure. Consequently, during the great earthquake on the night of the second day of the tenth month of the recent Year of the Rabbit (U), the large penetrating beam (ō-nuki) holding the rafter was the first to give way; the main building (omoya) and the eaves (hisashi) were torn apart; people were crushed by the weight of the fallen roof tiles; they were killed at doorways as they tried to flee; or they were struck down in the street. All of these cases are the result of leaving contracted construction work (nyūsatsu-fushin) entirely to the discretion of craftsmen, allowing them to do as they pleased.
